Chapter VI
4. Why is the meeting with O’Brien important?
Chapter VII
5. What happened to Winston’s mother? What kind of boy was he?
6. Winston suggests that they should break up before they are found out. Julia says no. Why?
7. When they are talking about torture, confession, and betrayal, Julia says “They can make you say anything—anything—but they can’t make you believe it. They can’t get inside you.” Do you think that is true?

9. Why do Winston and Julia go together to O’Brien’s house?

(The rest of this chapter and Chapter X are dealt with below.)
RR #:Analyzing Stylistic Choices 1984
When Winston says near the end of Section Two, Chapter II, “I hate purity, I hate goodness. I don’t want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones,” what kind of virtue is he talking about? Is it what we normally think of as purity and virtue, or is it what Big Brother calls virtue? What is the difference?
Julia says that it is probably safe to meet in the clearing one more time, in about a month, but on about the second page of Chapter III, the narrator says, “As it happened they never went back to the clearing in the wood.” Although Winston’s thoughts often move from the present to the past and back again, it is unusual for the narrator to take a perspective that is clearly from a future time when the story is over. It requires speculation, but why do you think that Orwell chose to do this at this point? What is the effect?
